CTAN sub­mis­sion – soul.sty

----- For­warded mes­sage from Mel­chior FRANZ -----
I've just up­loaded ver­sion 2.3 of `soul.sty' as archive
>--- soul.tar.gz ---<
to
>--- ftp://ftp.dante.de/in­com­ing/ ---<
Please re­place the con­tents of
>--- /macros/la­tex/con­trib/sup­ported/soul/ ---<
by the new files. The pack­age is again li­cenced un­der the terms of the
>--- LPPL ---<
The soul pack­age pro­vides hy­phen­at­able let­terspac­ing, un­der­lin­ing,
over­strik­ing, and high­light­ing.
Ver­sion 2.3
=============================================================
- fixes a nasty hack, that kept soul from play­ing nice with
cc­fonts.sty (be­ton.sty), cm­bright.sty and pos­si­bly other
pack­age's. This is now solved cleanly.
(Un­der nor­mal cir­cum­stances this would have be­come ver­sion 2.2.1
or some­thing, but soul is IMHO fea­ture com­plete and has al­ready
sta­bi­lized af­ter the rewrite. So I con­sider this fix worth get­ting
re­leased soon and with its own mi­nor re­lease num­ber. Imag­ine, this
was the very last bug and I had to stick to an odd ver­sion num­ber
like "2.2.1a" for­ever. Shud­der ...)
- fixes some small bugs in the doc­u­men­ta­tion, as al­ways
- GO FORTH now and steal sheep! :-]

soul – Hyphen­ation for let­terspac­ing, un­der­lin­ing, and more

Pro­vides hy­phen­at­able spac­ing out (let­terspac­ing), un­der­lin­ing,
strik­ing out, etc., us­ing the TeX hy­phen­ation al­go­rithm to find
the proper hy­phens au­to­mat­i­cally. The pack­age also pro­vides a
mech­a­nism that can be used to im­ple­ment sim­i­lar tasks, that have
to treat text syl­la­ble by syl­la­ble. This is shown in two
ex­am­ples.

The pack­age it­self does not sup­port UTF-8 in­put in or­di­nary
(PDF)LaTeX; some UTF-8 sup­port is of­fered by pack­age
